Chapter 1075

Grant steadied himself as he stood, still feeling a little light-headed.

The pastor turned away, lighting another stick of incense. After a moment of silent prayer, he looked back at Grant and said, "I'm planning a ceremony at Zen Heart Temple. I want you to invite the heads of all four major families. I need to confront the Sartori family in front of everyone. If this really is all just a misunderstanding, then let's let the past stay in the past and move on."

Grant looked confused. "If you want to confront them, isn't it enough to just invite Jeffery and Nemo? Why bring in the heads of all four families?"

But then it clicked for him. Maybe the pastor wanted witnesses-people who could see the truth for themselves.

The pastor continued, "When you invite them, tell them that if this really was just a misunderstanding, I'll open up the century-old treasure of the four families. We'll split it evenly between our Ballard Group and the four families, just like our ancestors promised a hundred years ago."

Grant's eyes went wide in shock. His father had rarely spoken of the treasure, but Grant knew a little-he remembered his father poring over old maps night after night when he was a kid. The legends had always sounded like fairy tales.
